I’m not sure if it was because I hadn’t seen live music in over a week, because this year is not off to a great start for me or simply because there was some incredible talent up on stage, but last week’s musical adventures all rose to the level of magical. There was the beautiful chaos of Beauty School Dropout, the insane vocals and instrumentation brought to you by Evan + Zane at their retrospective (plus orchestra) show, and the one and only Jack Garratt showing everyone how it’s done playing his first LA show in years at the Hotel Cafe.

It’s been a weekend of shenanigans in Las Vegas with the When We Were Young festival. There was SO much nostalgia brought on by the likes of Yellowcard, Relient K, Michelle Branch and many more, but there was nothing quite as emotional as the reunion of Something Corporate. Talk about when we were young, this band was such a seminal part of my youth (and my musical tastes) and I still can’t quite believe that I was able to see them again.

Last night I saw band love, Nothing But Thieves, for the first time in about 5 years and I walked away with two primary thoughts; 1 – Rock bands are always better live and 2 – Nothing But Thieves have become too big for me. This provokes contradictory impulses as I want to see the band live again (and again, and again), but I don’t want to walk away disappointed from an over-large venue/crowd and setlist that neglects most of the songs I want to hear. I’m still struggling to land on an emotion as both elation and disappointment pop up in equal measure.

Onto the next I suppose. And by next I mean the long list of promising shows I’ve concocted for next week which include Dead Poet Society, Joe Pug, and the return of another favorite, Nickle Creek who are playing two nights at the Ace Theater downtown.
